Electron temperature and electron density were rreasured in a radio-frequency inductively coupled plasma (RFICP) using a Langmuir probe method. Measurerrent was conducted in an argon discharge for pressures from 10 mTorr to 40 mTorr and input rf rnwer from 100 W to 600 W. Spatial distribution electroo temperature and electron density were rreasured for discharge with satre aspect ratio (R/L=2). Electron temperature and electron density were discovered depending on both pressure and power. Electron density was increased with iocreasing input power, but saturated at 450 W. Electron density was iocreased with iocreasing pressure. Radial distribution of the electron density was peaked at the rnsition which was a little rmved from center toward quartz window. Normal distribution of the electron density was peaked in the center between quartz plate and substrate. The above results could contribute to understand the Mechanism of Radio-Frequency Inductively Discharge Plasma.Plasma.

In this study, effects of the density of soil and the confining pressure applied to the soil sample on the elastic moduli of subgrade soils are experimentally analyzed. Through investigation of subgrade materials of domestic expressways, five typical types of subgrade soils are selected for the experiments. A series of unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests is performed on samples prepared with various water contents and densities at the confining pressures of 1.02, 2.04, and $3.06kg/cm^2$. Initial tangent modulus is inferred from the unloading-reloading portion of the stress strain curve obtained during an individual loading-unloading-reloading test. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the effect of the confining pressure on the elastic modulus of subgrade material is well consistent with the equation proposed by Janbu, and that the elastic modulus can be related to the dry unit weight expressing the Janbu constants as exponentiial functions of it. It is also found that the water content has little effect on the elastic modulus for the samples with the degree of saturation less than 70%.

수 Tera Watt급의 가속기 및 펄스파워 시스템은 다수의 스위치를 사용하고 있으며, 이와 같은 가속기 및 시스템의 성능은 기체방전 스위치의 성능에 직접적으로 관련되어 있다. 일반적으로 이와 같은 기체방전, 액체방전 고출력 스위치는 다목적으로 많은 연구와 개발에 응용되고 있다. 예를 들어 천둥 펄스전자빔 발생장치는 12개의 Marx gap 및 3개의 100 kV 펄스충전 전기트리거 gap을 가지고 있다. 기체 방전 또는 액체 방전 펄스 충전 갭 스위치의 음극에 펄스 고전압이 인가되면 이로 인하여 음극에서 전자빔이 발생한다. 내부에는 전자빔이 양극과 충돌하는 순간 양극표면에 플라스마가 형성된다. 이와 같은 플라스마 sheath는 축 방향 이극관 안에서 양극 충전 에서 음극으로 팽창하면서 전파하며, 또한 거의 동시에 음극표면에도 플라스마가 형성되어 음극에서 양극으로도 팽창하여 전파하게 된다. 이와 같은 펄스충전 고출력 갭 스위치 안에서 발생되는 방전 플라스마의 특성에 관한 갭 breakdown 과정에 대한 특성연구를 한다. 고출력 스위치의 특성 조건으로는 방전전압, 방전시간, jitter 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 최대전압 600 KV, 최대전류 88 KA, 펄스 폭 60 ns의 특성을 가지는 고전압 펄스 시스템 '천둥'을 이용하여 방전 챔버에 고전압 펄스를 인가하고 N2와 SF6 혼합기체 종류와 압력에 따른 현상을 전기, 광학적으로 연구하였다. 전극은 구리텅스텐 합금재질의 표준전극을 사용하였고, 전극 간격은 20 mm로 고정하였다. 방전 챔버 압력을 100 torr에서 4 기압까지 변화시켜가며 실험을 진행하였고, N2에 대한 SF6의 혼합비율을 0%~100%까지 변화시키며 실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 방전전압은 압력이 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 2 기압 이상에서는 완만히 증가하는 경향을 보였고, SF6 혼합비율은 0~10%까지 급격히 증가하고, 그 이상의 혼합비율에서는 완만히 증가하였다. 전자온도는 SF6 혼합비율이 0~10%일 때 급격히 증가하여 이후에는 포화되는 경향을 보였고, 압력에 따라서는 큰 경향성을 보이지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest how to use the phase diagram for water to explain the evaporation and sublimation in the atmospheric condition. In principle, the phase diagram for water represents a one component system so it cannot be applied to the water contact with the air. When the liquid or solid phase of water exists in the air, always water vapor also exists in the air. In this case, we cannot present this state as a single point on the phase diagram because the pressure of the liquid or solid is different from that of the vapor in the air. However, since the saturation vapor pressure of liquid or solid is altered by negligible amount due to the presence of air, the evaporation and sublimation in the atmospheric condition can be explained using the vapor pressure line and sublimation line on the phase diagram.

Soils are commonly unsaturated in the near surface. The stiffness of soils is affected by the amount of air and water. The objective of this study is to evaluate the porosity of the unsaturated soils by using the elastic waves including compressional and shear waves. The elastic waves are measured at different degrees of saturation by controlling the matric suction. Thus, the unsaturated soils are characterized at different levels of the matric suction. Shear and compressional waves are measured by using the bender elements and the piezo disk elements, respectively. Both transducers are installed on the walls of the rectangular cell. The unsaturated soils are prepared by using uniform size sands and silts. Test results show that both compressional and shear wave velocities change according to the matric suction. The elastic modulus, the shear modulus, and the Poisson's ratio are estimated based on the measured elastic wave velocities. In addition, the void ratio of the unsaturated soils estimated using elastic wave velocities matches well with the volume based void ratio. This study demonstrates that the elastic waves can be effectively used for the characterization of unsaturated soils.

There are many factors to consider when attempting to improve the efficiency of fuel cell operation, such as the operation temperature, humidity, stoichiometry, operation pressure, geometric features, etc. In this paper, the effects of the operation pressure were investigated to find the current density and water saturation behavior on a cross section designated by the design geometry. A two-dimensional geometric model was established with a gas channel that can provide $H_2$ to the anode and $O_2$ and water vapor to the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL). The results from this numerical modeling revealed that higher operation pressures would produce a higher current density than lower ones, and the water saturation behavior was different at operation pressures of 2 atm and 3 atm in the cathode GDL. In particular, the water saturation ratios are higher directly below the collector than in other areas. In addition, this paper presents the dependence of the velocity behavior in the cathode on pressure changes, and the velocity fluctuations through the GDL are higher in the output area than in inlet area. This conclusion will be utilized to design more efficient fuel cell modeling of real fuel cell operation.

Generally the lower part of the Earth's atmosphere, which is 20km above the ground, is called "air." The composition of this area is almost consistent consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. Air density refers to the mass per unit volume of earth atmosphere. Though air is made of the mixed gases in a constant composition, the water vapor is one of the very changeable components. The density of moist air is lower than the dry one at the same temperature and pressure. As the density varies according to the pressure and temperature, this paper attempts to explore the main factors in the air quantity calculation by examining first the density calculation process according to the air property, and second the relation between the actual and standard air flow.

To study the magnetization reversal behavior of Co/Pd multilayers, we first demagnetized the samples by the field-demagnetized method and then measured initial curves and minor loops. The coercivity and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were obtained from the perpendicular and parallel magnetization curves measured at different temperatures. We interpret our experimental results by applying several qualitative and semiquantative approaches. From these study, we found that the magnetization reversal behavior is dominated by the domain wall pinning for all samples and the coercivity incremental tendency can be explained by Kronmuller's formula $H_c(T)\;{\propto}\;r_0.K_u$.

The tubes in heat exchanger are typically made of copper alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium alloy material. Type-439 ferritic stainless steel is ferromagnetic material, and furnish higher heat transfer rates than austenitic stainless steels and higher resistance to corrosion-induced flaws. Ferritic stainless steel can be found in low-pressure(LP) feedwater heaters and moisture separator reheaters(MSRs) in turbine system. LP feedwater heaters generally utilize thin wall Type-439 stainless steel tubing, whereas MSRs typically employ a heavier wall tubing with integral fins. Service-induced damage can occur on the O.D(outside diameter) surface of Type-439 ferritic stainless steel tubing which is employed for MSRs tubing, and the most typical damage mechanism is vibration-induced tube-to-TSP(tube support plate) wear and fatigue cracking. The wear has been reported that occurs mainly on the OD surface. Accordingly, in this study, we have evaluated the flaw sizing capability of magnetic saturation eddy current technique using magnetic saturation probe and flawed specimen.
